“OPPOSITES!”

Me-Maw Thoughts

Number 748

August 12, 2025///

As I was thinking about the “Fearless Women’s Conference” this weekend at Joshua’s Place Church, my mind went to opposites.

Fearful vs Fearless.

Faithless vs Faithful.

Joyless vs Joyful.

Mindless vs Mindful.

Comfortless vs comfortable.

Loveless vs love.

So, maybe I am getting carried away, but the thought is that every emotion or character attribute has an opposite. Oh, it does not always start with the same letter or have less or full attached to it, but it is opposite just the same!

Lack vs Provision.

Hardships vs Blessings.

Turmoil vs Peace.

Grouchy vs Loving.

Sour vs Sweet.

Stingy vs generous.

Failure vs Success.

Sad vs Happy.

The enemy tries to counterfeit the things of God. The culture of our world is set on things that are supposed to bring pleasure, satisfaction, or peace. But the things of this world, never satisfy.

There is a hunger deep inside every person who is born that longs to have a touch from our Creator God!

This comes from receiving Jesus Christ as our Savior by acknowledging the good things He paid for on the Cross and through His resurrection!

After receiving Jesus as Savior, the more we let His way control our lives we will be walking out the second part of all those opposites above!

They will not all come at once, but they will come as you draw closer to Jesus and His Love.

James 1:17 (KJV)

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

All the good things come from our Father God whether we acknowledge Him or not. All opposites of good gifts come from the enemy of all that is good and who wants to destroy good by evil deception which looks good.

I like to eat one banana every morning I have one in my kitchen. Sometimes they look perfect, but on the inside but there are bad places when they are pealed. Looks are not always correct. The enemy of good and right will deceive by making wrong look right.

Don’t fall for that. Trust the Lord God Almighty with all you are and all that is in your heart, and you will see the good side of vs come to dwell in your life.

I encourage you to repeat with me that you are each of the good sides of the opposites above.

I am FEARLESS, I am FAITHFUL, I am JOYFUL; and keep going down the whole list of good things and more that you think of.

Speak it as you go through your day. Good things in our life honors God and the better the good things, the more He is Honored!

Father, thank you for the good gifts you give those who love you and even those who do not recognize good things are from you. Thank you more for the gifts deep inside us such as joy and peace and your love. May we walk in the good gifts from above and proclaim by those good gifts that you are a good, good, Father. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen!

Love, MeMaw!
